INTRODUCTION
Product Description
The Grampian II™is the second-generation mattress overlay system of an economical
consideration. It is designed for the prevention and treatment of skin breakdown / pressure ulcer
development and targeted for patients deemed at high risk of pressure ulcer development. Its
modern construction is made from 18 transverse cells, which are a comfortable 5 inches (115mm)
in height. This allows the mattress to be placed on top of a standard hospital or basic mattress
underlay system. The cells inflate / deflate in an alternating one-in-two pattern in a cycle which
lasts approx. 11 ½ minutes. This entry level dynamic overlay system offers true value for money
for those on constrained budgets, whilst delivering the appropriate clinical care to those who need
it most.
Application
For patients who are classed as medium to high risk of developing pressure
Contraindications
Patients with severe spinal injuries / fractures should not be using this product.
Do not attach the mattress to the fixed part of the bed frame. It should be secured to the moving /
working parts to ensure the bed can be profiled as required. Always place on top of a foam
mattress and not directly on the bed frame.
Patients requiring a deep cell mattress should not be considered for this particular product without
a prior clinical assessment.
This product forms part of a holistic care package and should only be used by trained personnel.
For training or further advice contact Herida Healthcare on Freephone [phone].
Working Principle
The dynamic mattress system consists of a manual air pump and an alternating air mattress. The
air mattress has three distinct airway chambers:
1. Pillow Chambers –Air tubes 1,2 & 3. These remain static throughout as to avoid head
movement, sickness to the user.
2. Group A Chambers –Air tubes 4,6,8,10,12,14,16 & 18.
3. Group B Chambers –Air tubes 5,7,9,11,13,15 & 17.
A and B chambers alternate inflating and deflating by using the pump connected. This air
alternating, mattress system enhances the blood circulation to treat and prevent pressure ulcers,
when part of a holistic care package. Initialisation can take up to 50 minutes to achieve & it is
recommended that a Rapid Inflator is used, where possible, to reduce the inflation time.

OPERATION
Static Mode
When the pump is adjusted to the static mode, air chambers A & B are both fully inflated until
120mmHg / 150 Kg is achieved. This mode is used for seating or patient transfer.
Always place an overlay mattress on top of standard mattress (see contra indications)
Alternating Mode
When started, both chambers A & B are initially inflated to 120mmHg / 150 Kg. Group A chambers
deflate for 5 minutes followed by both A & B inflating for 1.5 minutes. This is followed by Group B
chambers deflating for 5 minutes. This is one complete cycle.
Always place an overlay mattress on top of standard mattress (see contra indications)
Profiled Bed & Mattress - Clinical & Carer Considerations
If the bed is in the profiled position, ensure that the pump pressure is increased accordingly to
appropriately accommodate (*see below). Unless the clinical condition dictates, it is not advised to
adjust the bed profile beyond 45°. The Grampian II™will continue to operate beyond this but may
cause increased pressure points on the patient. A fist or hand test to ensure patient clearance
under the sacral area is a best practice guide (see image 1DA and diagram of profiled mattress
2DA or visit our website (www.heridahealthcare.co.uk) under “Education” tab section and select
Dynamic Best Practice from the drop-down menu). If you are dealing with heavier or more complex
patients that require a deeper cell mattress, then please contact your provider or seek assistance
via Herida Healthcare Customer Services. The clinician must select the correct mattress type at
prescription point / patients individual circumstances.

(NB: use hand to check ensure appropriate clearance when profiled as below. Add more pressure
on the pump if required in order to achieve this. NB: Weight setting is a guide only and cell
pressure must also be taken into consideration for individual patients). Clinical judgement must
always overrule user guidance.

Always place an overlay mattress on top of standard mattress (see contra indications)
Installation
1. Remove all packaging & place the pump either at the end of the bed on its hooks or on a
flat surface.
2. Ensure that there are no sharp or hard objects on the bed before unfolding the mattress &
laying out flat. The air inlet should be located at the feet side of the bed.
3. Use the Rapid Inflator (if available) to inflate the mattress before connecting the air tubes to
the pump. The tubes should be connected securely in place without any signs of leakage. If
a Rapid Inflator is not available, the mattress will take approximately 50 minutes to inflate.
4. Connect the pump to the socket & switch on.
5. Adjust the mode & pressure by the users condition & weight to suit.
6. In order for the alarm to activate, the system must be switched on & powered up for at least
5 minutes. This should give the internal battery on the PCB sufficient time to charge.

OPERATION
Safety Instructions
1. Ensure that there are no sharp objects, fire or abrasive materials in the vicinity. If the
mattress is damaged. Remove the patient & transfer to an alternative mode of pressure
relief.
2. If there is an issue with the pump, remove the patient & transfer to another mode of
pressure relief.
Pump Operation
Power: Power On / Off
Pressure Dial: Turn clockwise / anti-clockwise to increase / decrease the pressure setting as
required, depending on the weight & comfort of the patient. Each section represents 20kg
increments.
Static: All tubes will inflate up to 120mmHg / 150 Kg. No alternating takes place & the dynamic
mattress system will remain in static mode until switched back to normal.
Pressure Monitor: The light is illuminated when pressure is normal & extinguished when pressure
is abnormal. The light will continuously flash during the alternating cycle change-over.
Air Leakage / Low Pressure Alarm
•After working for 50 minutes and the pressure is lower than 30mmHg, the pump will alarm
indicating an initialisation failure.
•During normal operation, when the pressure is lower than 30mmHg for 6 minutes, the pump
will alarm indicating possible air leakage from the mattress.
•Pushing the mute key will silence the pump alarm.
•If the alarm sounds consistently and all attempts to remedy have failed, seek engineer
assistance to rectify.
Power Off Alarm
The alarm will sound if power is lost to the pump.

MAINTENANCE
At point of service the following aspects must be maintained to ensure that manufacturer’s
warranty remains intact. These can be done in a non-alphabetic way, if all areas are covered:
•Ensure the pump unit and mattress / cells are fully decontaminated prior to service and are
cleaned in accordance with the schedule provided.
•Electrical safety checks / Pat Test –To be conducted annually or time of service. Please
make sure the kettle lead and plug fuse is compliant at 3amp only.
•Filters must be changed at point of return / before patient handover / new client and at time
of service.
•Rear pump fuse must be inspected and replaced if faulty –0.5A only.
•Pump casing must be opened and vacuumed internally, if any dust or particles are evident.
Never use any water / fluid internally to clean.
•Pump must achieve pressure within 20% tolerances as per page 9 of this manual –via
calibrated sphygomometer and cell attachments. Kits available to purchase via
manufacturer. Ensure that a rapid inflator is used at time of service to ensure that service
and installation time is reduced to minutes.
•Pump low pressure function is evident at 6mmHG or lower for 15-20 minutes or more.
•Cells are to be fully inflated and tested for leakage. This should be done via a pressurised
system, soak test over at least 3 cycles or under weights to replicate patient in situ.
•The tubing and connectors that run down the side of the mattress, must be clear of kinks /
debris or must not be snapped in any way. These should be running freely with air
distribution to each cell and have no leakage or deterioration of surface. A spring is situated
at the head section of the mattress tubing at to avoid kink in the critical area.
•The none return valve holding the 3 head cells must be functioning correctly. This is evident
via 3 solid static head cells / none alternating during cycle.
•A functional “soak test”, ensuring that the tactile panel / pump and mattress operates fully in
synergy. This is done by attaching and inflating the mattress to full pressure and then
increasing / decreasing both weight and other panel / button functions.
•CPR is to be checked functionally and deflated after all soak tests are completed.
•Mattress Cover and cells are to be inspected for puncture, tear, rip or excessive odour post
cleaning and replaced accordingly if defective.
•Calibration setting as required. See page 12 for further details.
Storage
Good ventilation will be required when storing the product & it should always be kept dry & away
from direct sunlight. Temperature should be maintained in the region of 22°C ± 3°C when in use.
Avoid repeat exposure to extreme temperatures.

MAINTENANCE
Transportation
•Care should be taken when loading, unloading and during transportation & refrain
from placing heavy objects on top of the mattresses.
•Do not expos to direct sunshine for any period of time when loading and unloading &
ensure a cover is used to protect the mattress when raining or snowing.
•Do not open with a knife or sharp objects as this may damage the mattress cover.
•Always use the provided re-usable pump protector for all transportation methods. This plastic
sleeve will need to be cleaned prior to re-use for infection control purposes.
Calibration
•During service intervals or between patients, it is recommended to check pressure
tolerances (see the table on page 9) using a Herida Testing System. Calibration training
must be conducted & applied by a Herida trained technician.
Other Considerations
•Original internal fuse is F0.5A 250V. When replacing the fuse, ensure a similar type is
used and that the fuse is disposed of in the appropriate manner.
•During normal working, when the emergency deflation is needed, switch off the pump
and pull out the CPR toggle quickly.
•The mattress should be away from sharp objects to avoid any scratches or punctures.
•Put bed cover sheet or blanket over the mattress before use. No plastic or rubber
sheets should be used.
•Ensure that all the tubes remain flat & any twists / kinks are avoided.
•If any air leakage is found, check all the tube connectors and air tubes carefully to see if
any are loose or damaged.
•If any major problems or issues are found or the product is not working, stop
using immediately and ask the engineer / manufacturer / provider for assistance.
